Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

I can't believe that the weekend is already almost over! We had so much fun and stayed very busy all weekend.

We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving day, we had dinner with the Fuhriman family, then Reid had to go to work that night and I went and spent the evening with my family as we ate left over turkey. It was fun to just sit around and visit.

On friday we were a little lazy in the morning, but then Reid and I went to the temple with my family and had dinner with them at the temple. Then we went and visited with his family in the evening. On Saturday we went to Island Park and got Christmas trees. It was fun to get out, it snowed lightly all day, we built a fire and had lunch outside. It was cold, but fun to sit around the fire. We are now excited to put up our Christmas tree and all our decorations.

I am kind of glad that all the festivities of the weekend are over, I have been so exhausted and not feeling so great. I think it is because I have been so tired!

Welcome Julia!

We are excited because our new niece Julia Fuhriman was born last night. She was 7 lbs 4 0z and all is well with both baby Julia and Mom Holli. We are excited to have another cousin and niece to love.

Excited for the fun Weekend!

Not a whole lot has been going on around here but a little bit of runny noses and coughs, nothing too exciting. But we are all looking forward to the fun, festive Holiday weekend that is coming. We are looking forward to eating lots of turkey and pie, and seeing our family that is coming up from Utah. The kids are excited about going to Madagascar with Aunt Sara on friday, and they are excited to see their cousins from Salt Lake. We are all looking forward to going on Saturday and getting our Christmas tree. That is one of our holiday traditions to go cut down our own tree. They aren't the best looking trees, but it is the experience that counts (right?) Anyway, I don't have a lot to say other than we are excited for all the upcoming fun later in the week!

Happy Late Birthdays!

I want to wish my brother-in-law's Danny and Ben very Happy Late Birthdays! Both of their Birthday's are this month and I am kind of failing at remembering them on their actual birthdays! I feel the most bad about Danny's because we got him a birthday present and meant to get it to him yesterday when Reid, Savanna and Mitchel went down to Salt Lake, but half way through the day I realized that the birthday present was still sitting in our bedroom. I guess that he will get it this weekend when he comes for Thanksgiving! I just want Ben and Danny to know that they are the best brother-in-law's I could ask for and I appreciate them always being kind to me, and my kids absolutely adore them as Uncles! It is strange to me that when Reid and I first got married they were just kids, and now they have grown in to such good men.

This is for Sara

Me and my friend Steve Carrell.

This post is for my sister Sara who is in Japan on business and has no English speaking channels to watch at night while in her hotel room. I'm sorry that you can't be home tonight to watch "The Office". I just got the popcorn popped and the ice water ready so I can sit down and enjoy the show.

Reid and I and the kids went out tonight to go to Walmart and Barnes and Noble the only problem was that Savanna and Mitchel fell asleep before we could get to either store. So I sat in the van while Reid went into Walmart, and then he sat in the van while I went into Barnes and Noble. So much for our evening together shopping. Oh well, my kids are very excited to go to Madagascar 2 with Aunt Sara. Mitchel has been carrying around your invitation since he got it in the mail yesterday.

New Family pictures and baby announcement

I love this picture of the kids because it shows their personalities so much!

So we took our family pictures a few weeks ago so that we could send out Christmas cards with a picture. I wanted to send the cards out early this year, because we announced in the family card that we are expected baby #4 and that is how I wanted to tell my family and since I am starting to show I needed to get them out early. It was kind of fun to just send the news in the mail and wait to hear everyone's response. I am due June 10th so I am 11 weeks along, and I am hoping that magically after next week when I hit 12 weeks I will start feeling better. I haven't really been super sick, just feeling kind of crummy, especially at night.

Savanna already has the names picked out Lynnlee if it is a girl and Hunter if it is a boy. I doubt those are the names we would go with, but I think that it is cute that she has her opinion about it. I put the new family pictures up. We just went over to my parents neighbors house and had a few snap shots taken. I thought they weren't to bad for free! (Thanks to my father in law Steve for taking the pictures!)

Gymnastics Girl

Savanna is taking gymnastics, and she loves it! I'm really glad that she does, but she is starting to drive me nuts!! She goes around the house all day long doing cartwheels, hand stands, backbends, headstands, and whatever else she can do. She is completely unaware of what is going on around her so we have had many "accidents" when she has kicked someone in the face on her way to doing one of her tricks. I am about to put my foot down and say no more gymnastics in the house. It is hard because I want her to be able to develop her talent, but I am on my last nerve with it!!
